I guess you don't keep a watch like this running? Else pics are not recent? Do you wear it?

My understanding was this one and the more common @900 non skeleton ones came with a winder.

Is this the one that's been on eBay for a while at around $50k?

No, this watch never has been on eBay. I guessing you have seen the Limited Edition on Ebay. This is the Restricted Edition, RRP Swiss CHF 39,000 when released in 1990. That is around $ 51,000 today.

For a watch that is seldom worn, I have to ask if it came with instructions for re-setting the perpetual calendar? Or is the watch maintained properly set, and left running on the winder?

It comes with instructions as well as occasionally I put it on the winder.

I thought this was a reg production piece? where did you hear there were only four made? I have never heard of a restricted edition.
